ECOsine® Active eliminates harmonics and reduces the cost for reactive power

Whether for machinery, welding equipment, variable-frequency drives, or electric motors:

Almost all non-linear consumers nowadays can cause substantial voltage distortion.

Harmonic currents up to the 50th harmonic and expensive reactive power: ECOsine® Active

eliminates both direct and reliable. This improves power quality and reduces cost.

Savings in reactive power can be easily calculated. However, cost reduction due to less wear on

equipment, less troubleshooting, or even prevented production downtime are more difficult

to quantify. Studies show that this amounts to billions in damages each year. ECOsine® Active

is thus a good investment for all areas with system perturbation problems.

Consumers of electricity often suffer from poor power quality in their supply lines

Reliability and efficiency are assessed as being important to business operation.

This includes reliable operation of machines, manufacturing systems, and office

equipment. Nevertheless, this is frequently not the case and often there is no

obvious reason, despite the use of UPSs and back-up generators.

A clear tendency worldwide: Voltage distortion increases along with the increasing use of power electronics

4 ECOsine® Active

As the latest generation of active harmonic filters ECOsine® Active offers numerous additional

advantages compared to traditional technology. Faster, smaller, and more performance. This

makes power quality easier.

I Ultra-fast: ECOsine® Active responds to disturbances in less than 300µs and eliminates them

before they can cause damage.

I Super-compact: The smallest 30A filter is handy, small, and easy to install, and also the 300A

cabinet unit provides the highest performance in the most compact package.

I Optimized for maintenance: Thanks to its design, the central modules in the 200 to 300A

industrial models can be removed in less than 15 minutes (MTTR).

I Suitable for industrial use: With the IP54 protection class ECOsine® Active is resistant to dust

and other environmental influences.

I Numerous options: The ECOsine® Active range covers specifications from 30 to 300A and 200

to 480V in either 3 or 4-wire technology.

I Adaptive: ECOsine® Active compensates for individual disturbance patterns in a targeted

manner and automatically adapts to changing network topologies.

Harmonics caused by non-linear loads are reliably compensated with ECOsine® Active

and the THD is reduced.

ECOsine® Active 30/50A (3-wire) – The compact and easy-to-install filter

The smallest ECOsine® Active version is ideal for the reliable compensation up to the 50th

harmonic, as well as reactive power, in a targeted manner. Thanks to its compact dimensions

and low weight, this filter can be easily installed in any environment. For protection class

requirements up to IP54 both wall and cabinet installation are possible. Not only space-

saving, it is also economical in terms of power loss with only 1300W. With a response time of

less than 300µs in ultra-fast mode, it is also possible to optimally compensate dynamic loads.

This compact filter offers convincing technical features and an excellent mechanical design.

A higher power level can be easily attained by paralleling up to 5 units.

ECOsine® Active 30/60A (4-wire) – The solution for building technology

This ECOsine® Active version mitigates harmonics also on the neutral wire and is particularly

qualified for the reliable compensation of 3rd and triple harmonics up to the 50th order. Low

audible noise emissions make it the perfect solution for building technology, banking, data

centers and hospitals.

ECOsine® Active 100/120A – The standard for 3 and 4-wire technology is always

the perfect fit

Only slightly larger and heavier than the 30/50/60A devices, the 100/120A unit can deal with

twice the current. It is the perfect solution for those who need more performance right

from the beginning and want to centrally connect it to their consumers.

ECOsine® Active 200/250/300A – The industrial model is a real power pack

With up to 300A of compensation current, this filter remains fully capable for the highest

requirements and for large production facilities, like those found in the heavy industry.

The cabinet version comes with forced air cooling, as well as internal liquid cooling for the

power electronics with an integrated water/air heat exchanger. This is hi-tech in a compact

package.

7ECOsine® Active

Minimal time-to-repair thanks to a modular design (MTTR <15 minutes)

The ready-for-connection industrial cabinet unit with its modular design and IP54 protec-

tion class is especially advantageous and convenient. The individual modules can be easily

accessed and removed from the front of the cabinet. An MTTR value of less than 15 minutes

with an MTBF value of up to 100,000 hours ensures shortest service times and long

maintenance intervals.

Control electronics are easy to remove. Modules (filter unit and power element) can be released from the front with just a few bolt/plug connections.

Liquid cooling can be disconnected quickly and without any spilling using quick-release couplings.

Modules can be popped out towards the front.

8 ECOsine® Active

There is a wide range of companies and institutions that can clearly improve the power line

quality of manufacturing systems or office facilities using ECOsine® Active. On the one hand,

this filter can be factored-in during the planning and implementation phase of new systems.

On the other hand, ECOsine® Active is also an intelligent solution for existing installations and

facilities with power quality problems.

ECOsine® Active – the best harmonic filter money can buy

Most countries already have strict standards and limits for harmonic injection. Companies

and facilities that consume energy are forced to monitor their internal power lines and ensure

compliance with these limits. In critical cases, the energy provider may cut the power. Using

ECOsine® Active, detected deviations can be reduced and brought back into the tolerance

range again. This provides much confidence.

The following standards specify limits for harmonics in networks/units:

EN 61000-2-2, EN 61000-2-4, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-12, EN 61000-3-3 as well as EN 50160,

TOR D2, IEEE 519-1992, G5/4 and D.A.CH.CZ.

ECOsine® Active is the easiest way to comply with these standards and limits.

More details can be found in the ECOsine® Active

user manual (available at www.schaffner.com).

ECOsine® Active uses intelligent digital technology

Its flexibility is obvious, as it can be connected to the

power line on the load or grid side with numerous current

transformer-ratios. Once configured with just a few clicks,

the present line current will be permanently measured and

all harmonics and phase displacements are actively compen-

sated. To do this, ECOsine® Active calculates the appropriate

compensation currents within microseconds, which are then

generated and fed into the network. This is possible due to

full digital control and fast high performance computing.
